It appears that cyberpromo handled the problem themselves after receiving 
complaints. I got an email from them listing the advertisers they had 
dropped for various reasons. The one with the hostile disclaimer was 
dropped for just that reason. Apparently, cyberpromo does not generate 
the advertisements, but only offers a site through which advertisers can 
send their junk mail. And they do seem to be responsive to complaints.
